Version 5.59 includes a minor, but necessary, change to handle newsgroups going over the 4 billion mark. We've also included some improvements to PAR processing that we've been working on in Version 6.

If you are using Astraweb, Giganews, PowerUsenet, Supernews, or Usenet.net, you will need to run 5.59 if you are downloading headers.

Here's the list of changes:

Fixed issue handling article numbers over 4 billion.

Tweak for cases where the par16K hash is missing from the beginning of a par2 file

Includes new par2dll.dll and tbb.dll files. Improves repair performance.
